The Unchained Melodies Pet Fair brought 16 local pet organizations together Sunday to educate pet owners on how to keep their pets safe. This is the first time the organization has put together this event.

Unchained Melodies founding director Melody Whitworth said the fair is meant to provide resources to help pet owners keep their pets happy and healthy.

"We have so many resources in Columbia that people are maybe not aware of," Whitworth said.
